Am I the only one having incredible changes in download speeds from Big Finish of late?
Doom Coalition 1 was lightning fast on my medium-quick cable connection. 3.4MB/sec.
Then the new Rani/Sixie story comes in at a .045MB/Sec - and a blip in my cable/internet caused the d/l to fail halfway through. Tonight I tried again and got .078MB/sec. Better, but nothing like that Doom Coalition... which I'm sure had a decicated server to protect BF from meltdown. Still the fact that the Main Range release downloaded so much slower annoyed me quite a bit.

I find the speeds are horrendous when I try from home - though that could be due to the provider I use being throttled by the company they buy bandwidth from. I also doubt they have any North American mirror sites, so I allow for some international lag when I download.
I tend to do my downloads from work where a boxset tends to download in a few minutes. At home I'm lucky if it takes less than a half hour.

I'm in the USA as well. (I miss the "Location" information in the old forum, which I've been trying to find a way to get it to display)
I normally have pretty fast download speeds. My cable has upgraded their internet recently as well.
The difference between those two download speeds was just so insane that I had to comment though. |

I have long download times (also in the USA), so that a CC or 4DA release takes 20-30 minutes to download, and a four parter can take nearly an hour. However, I have the same issue with other sites, including iTunes. A new DW episode from Season 9 takes 2-3 hours to download before I can watch it.  |
